Kejriwal denies replacing Modi at Wharton India Economic Forum

March 05, 2013 11:41

Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday rubbished media reports which said that he has replaced Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as one of the keynote speakers at the 17th Wharton India Economic Forum 2013 to be held on March 23.

Kejriwal said he did not believe he was ''replacing anyone'' as he had been approached by the organisers to speak at the event much before the Modi controversy.

"It is being reported in some sections of media that I have replaced Mr. Narendra Modi for this Wharton lecture. I think this is incorrect because they have been in touch with me for more than 15 to 20 days. And, I understand from the newspapers reports that Modi''s cancellation took place one or two days back," he added.
